I recently was building a simple 64-bit console application, and created a straightforward installer for it; the only out-of-the-norm thing I did was make the installer 64 bit and remove that auto-update crap.
When I went to build it, I got the enormously helpful error:
Internal Error -4130
Naturally, there's no information about that on Flexera's site. Their tech support is abysmal.
After tooling around on the Internet for a bit, I found out that this error indicates a failure of COM initialization.
COM Initialization? What the heck does that have to do with a 64-bit .NET assembly? But by then I had a sneaking suspicion what would work.
I shut down Visual Studio, and re-opened as an Administrator. When I ran the build again, it was successful.
I don't know why it needs to initialize COM... it shouldn't. But almost all COM issues I have found in the last few years are directly centered on permissions.]
I REALLY wish MS would bring back its installer support. Flexera's tool is crap and WIX is painful.
